Users are complaining of a pop-up warning against the use of ad blockers.
Screenshots of the pop-up show that it warns users that ad blockers violate YouTube's terms of service.
The message tells the user that their video will be blocked until they either remove the ad blocker or set it to allow YouTube ads.
In a statement, YouTube told Insider that the use of ad blockers is against the website's terms of service.
Oluwa Falodun, a spokesperson for Google, which owns YouTube, told the outlet that ad blocker detection is "not new" and other websites regularly ask users to disable blockers.
